"I would've preferred Nipsey Hussle for the look," Snoop said. "But Nipsey wanted to do his own thing, which I respect." "He don’t wanna be in my shadows as far as being so much associated with Snoop Dogg," he continued. "And he’s doing a great job of creating his own lane right now, so I respect him for that."

Snoop added that while the actor (Keith Stanfield) who plays him in the film does a good job, there's not as much as a resemblances as there would have been with Nipsey.
